This is a significant development for Hermetic Solutions Group to add to our product portfolio one of the most valued suppliers in the industry. Sinclair Manufacturing’s engineering and quality capabilities are second to none and this positions Hermetic Solutions Group with every hermetic product available to continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
